Mexicans claim it helps keep your body cooler in the heat by eating spicey foods because it forces you to create more sweat.
It's also very good for cleaning out your blood. Not too many toxins like hanging around in your body after you've had a few hot peppers. I know it's even helped me get over colds and such quicker.
Me personally, I love spicey foods. But, I'm in agreeance that it should only be used to add flavour. Eating spicey foods isn't competitive sport. That soft little burn in the throat is what I look for when it comes to hot sauces and stuff. Those crazy Habanero sauces are all fine and dandy and a fun little novelty but if I can't taste my food, I'm not interested.
